Ingredients
  

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears, or 1 cup canned/frozen)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (or parsley for a milder taste)

Juice of 2 limes

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (for heat)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients:

    - If using fresh corn, remove kernels from the cob using a sharp knife. Boil or grill the corn for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Let cool.

      - Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the avocado, and chop the red onion and cilantro.

        Mix the Dressing:

          - In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped jalapeño if using.

            Combine the Salad:

              - In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, corn kernels, diced avocado, chopped red onion, and cilantro.

                Dress the Salad:

                  - Pour the lime dressing over the salad mix and gently toss to combine, ensuring the avocado remains intact.

                    Serve:

                      - Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates and enjoy immediately for the freshest taste. This salad pairs beautifully with grilled meats or stands alone as a refreshing dish.
